To All Newbies:
I encourage you all to read this thread from beginning to end. And then, read it again, and again, and again. Finally, pay attention to what James and the senior members say and stick to it.
For the last two weeks, I've taken a step back and just started really focusing on s/r, the location of the bars, and divergence via demo. The result: 100% success. This stuff works, but you have to put in the time, be patient, and never give up (now if I can only listen to my own advice).
It's like, I've fallen in love with this method all over again. Thanks James and the rest of the James16 crew.
